Once everyone was on the stage, the eunuch took out eight metal balls and said to the people on the stage, "I'll throw these metal balls at you in a moment. If any of you manage to grab a metal ball, you can choose anyone on the stage as your opponent."
At this moment, it wasn't just them. The same situation was happening in the other three regions.
"In the past, they basically just drew lots. This time, they're actually snatching the metal balls. How ingenious."
Hearing this, the crowd broke into a heated discussion.
Even Emperor Wu Xuanran revealed a trace of a smile on his face, and then said, "This method is quite interesting."
A eunuch beside Wu Xuanran immediately said, "This is the method that the First Prince came up with."
"Oh, was it Anbang who came up with this?" Wu Xuanran couldn't help but nod in approval.
Little did he know that Wu Anbang had his own plans for doing this, and that was to deal with Lin Long.
"Alright, young masters and young masters, take note …"
On Linlong's battle platform, the eunuch immediately threw the metal ball in his hand at them after he said that.
Lin Long couldn't help but frown when he saw the eunuch throw the metal balls. Although the eunuch seemed to be throwing them casually, none of them were thrown in his direction.
Could it be …
Lin Long couldn't help but recall Lin Guanghan's words.
Soon, all eight metal balls were caught in the hands of eight people.
"Alright, you can choose your opponents," the eunuch immediately said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man immediately stood up. "I'll go first. Does anyone mind?"
"Young Master Wei can be said to be the strongest among us. Of course we don't mind," the other seven people said as soon as they heard the young man's words.
Lin Long, on the other hand, looked at Young Master Wei. Just now, he clearly saw that the eunuch had thrown one of the metal balls at this young man on purpose.
If I'm not wrong, then my opponent is me, Lin Long thought to himself.
As expected, just as this thought appeared in his mind, Young Master Wei looked at him and pointed at him arrogantly. "Eunuch Ao, this young master chooses him!"
"Good!" Eunuch Ao immediately nodded, then asked, "Can you arrange your match as the first match?"
"That's even better," Young Master Wei immediately said with a smile.
Eunuch Ao looked at Lin Long and said, "What about you?"
"No problem." Linlong nodded.
"Since that's the case, the rest of you can continue choosing," Eunuch Ao said.
"Eunuch Ao, may I ask a question?" someone suddenly asked.
"What problem?"
"Can I choose someone who also got the iron ball?" the man asked.
"Of course."
Hearing this, that person immediately pointed to the other person holding the iron ball.
"Very well. Young Masters, please continue." Eunuch Ao's voice rang out.
"Young Master Tang, why are you so unlucky to be chosen by Young Master Wei?" Yan Sheng couldn't help but worry for Lin Long.
"Maybe he doesn't like me," Linlong said with a faint smile.
"This person's best sword skill is the Yellow Class Upper Level Wind Sword Skill. When this sword skill is used, it is as elusive as the wind. You have to be careful," Yan Sheng said.
"Mm. Thank you, Young Master Yan." Lin Long nodded.
Very quickly, the eight people holding the iron balls chose their opponents. Eunuch Ao then asked them to step down from the stage and threw the iron balls to the remaining people.
At this moment, Lin Long could clearly see that Eunuch Ao wasn't as deliberate as before.
It was obvious that he was targeting Lin Long. Lin Long frowned.
However, no matter what, he wasn't worried. After all, with his current strength, even Wu Anbang wouldn't be a match for him.
Not long after, everyone chose their opponents.
Eunuch Ao then shouted, "Young Master Wei and Young Master Tang, please come up!"
As he spoke, Young Master Wei immediately leaped up and looked at everyone with an incomparably arrogant expression.
As for Lin Long, he took a step back and jumped onto the stage.
At this moment, a pair of beautiful eyes swept in Lin Long's direction. The Seventh Princess immediately frowned. She couldn't understand why Lin Long would encounter such a difficult opponent in the first round.
For a moment, she was worried for Lin Long. She hoped that Lin Long would fight to the end. Naturally, she didn't want him to encounter such a strong opponent so early.
Could it be that Big Brother or Lin Guanghan deliberately arranged this? Thinking of the iron balls, such a thought immediately flashed through her mind.
She immediately walked in front of Wu Anbang.
"Little sister, why are you staring at your big brother like that?" Being stared at by the Seventh Princess, Wu Anbang felt a little scared.
"Big Brother, tell me, did you come up with the idea of snatching the iron balls to find someone to deal with my personal guard?" The Seventh Princess said coldly.
"Little sister, how could your big brother do such a thing?" Wu Anbang hurriedly said.
"If I find evidence, you're dead meat!" The Seventh Princess said with a sullen face.
"I really didn't," Wu Anbang said. How could he admit it?
In his heart, he cursed. If not for Father and Mother doting on you, I wouldn't have given you face.
Seeing that Wu Anbang refused to admit it, the Seventh Princess walked to Eunuch Sun's side and said something to him. After a while, Eunuch Sun left and went to the stage where Lin Long was.
After that, the Seventh Princess's gaze was focused on the stage.
On the stage, seeing that the two were in position, Eunuch Ao immediately stepped back and said, "Alright, let's begin!"
Below another stage, Lin Guanghan looked at Lin Long's stage and said, "Brat, let's see how you survive the first round with Wei Yan!"
After the list of groups was announced, he immediately found a few strong people in Lin Long's group and asked them to teach Lin Long a lesson.
Knowing that Lin Guanghan was backed by the First Prince, Wu Anbang, and that Lin Guanghan had promised them benefits, they naturally agreed.
Now that he saw Wei Yan, who had the strength of a third-rank martial artist and the Wind Riding Sword Skill, was the first to step forward, he was naturally happy. In his opinion, Lin Long was definitely no match for Wei Yan.
Wei Yan did not attack immediately. Instead, she suddenly said, "Eunuch Ao, can I say a few words to Tang Li?"
"Of course." Eunuch Ao nodded and then said, "However, you can't make a move during this period."
"Don't worry, Eunuch Ao." Wei Yan smiled.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly moved and appeared beside Lin Long in the blink of an eye.
"Young Master Wei, why don't you say it out loud?" Lin Long said indifferently.
"Haha, this is a secret between the two of us. There's no need for that." Wei Yan said as she bent down and whispered something in Lin Long's ear.
What was Wei Yan doing? Her actions puzzled everyone present.
"Tang Li, do you know why I chose you as my opponent?" Wei Yan said.
"I know." Lin Long nodded.
"You know?" Wei Yan was a little puzzled.
"Lin Guanghan asked you to come, right?" Lin Long said indifferently.
"Since you know, I might as well tell you the truth. Young Master Lin indeed asked me to deal with you. Young Master Lin wanted me to tell you that you should know your place at a young age. If you're too late, you'll regret it!" Wei Yan said coldly.
"Is that so? Then let me tell you something." Lin Long could not help but smile.
"What is it?"
"A dog must choose the right master. Otherwise, it won't even know when its legs will be broken." Lin Long laughed.
"Brat, you're courting death!" Wei Yan was instantly enraged. He even raised his fist and smashed it at Lin Long.
Eunuch Ao hurriedly said, "Young Master Wei, you can't do that!"
Hearing Eunuch Ao's words, Wei Yan withdrew his fist and said coldly, "Brat, I'll definitely break your legs in a moment!"
As he spoke, Wei Yan's figure moved and directly retreated a few meters away.
"Alright, the match can begin now!" Eunuch Ao immediately said.
As soon as his voice fell, Wei Yan, who had long been unable to hold back, immediately rushed toward Lin Long. The moment he neared Lin Long, the longsword in his hand immediately attacked Lin Long.
He immediately used his Imperial Wind Sword Technique. In an instant, the sword technique he used was immediately as light as a feather, making it impossible for others to predict the direction of his attack.
"As expected of the Imperial Wind Sword Technique!"
"It's really like a cool breeze, making it impossible for others to figure out its direction. If it were me, I wouldn't even know how to deal with it!"
"Tang Li will undoubtedly lose!"
As soon as the Imperial Wind Sword Technique was used, such exclamations immediately rang out from below the stage.
However, just when everyone thought that Lin Long would definitely be injured by Wei Yan's sword technique, the rune sword in Lin Long's hand pointed forward. With a "clang" sound, Wei Yan, who was holding the rune sword in his hand, directly retreated.
"It can't be, right? How did he see through such an unpredictable sword technique?"
For a moment, the audience below the stage was so astonished.
Naturally, Wei Yan was also surprised. He originally thought that he could defeat Lin Long with just the unpredictable Imperial Wind Sword Technique. He did not expect Lin Long to see through it.
Little did he know that his sword technique was incomparably slow in Lin Long's eyes. Envoy Lin Long's Wu Lin Sword Technique was countless times more unpredictable than the Imperial Wind Sword Technique. Naturally, Wei Yan could naturally see through the flaws of his opponent's sword technique.
"Again!" After such an angry roar, Wei Yan once again attacked Lin Long with his sword.
This time, however, his sword technique was clearly even more unpredictable. Not only that, but the sword qi that he released was also clearly more powerful.
Seeing this situation, even the Seventh Princess, who was in front of the hall, exclaimed, "Be careful!"
That Tang Li was only a guard, why would the Seventh Princess be so concerned about him?
Seeing the Seventh Princess's reaction, the people around her could not help but think so.
Wu Xuanran and the Empress were currently a little far away from the Seventh Princess. Otherwise, they would definitely ask what was going on.
